Deutsche Welle – DW Akademie
DW Akademie is Germany’s leading organisation for international media development. We support the development of free and transparent media, quality journalism, and also offer programs to boost media skills. We train up-and-coming Deutsche Welle journalists. Our Master’s degree program, “International Media Studies,” combines the disciplines of media and development, journalism, communication studies and media management. We offer clients from the worlds of politics, business and civil society a broad spectrum of media training workshops. Our online courses for learning German complement Deutsche Welle’s journalistic activities. We believe – that independent media and responsible journalism are essential worldwide. Given Germany’s history, we believe that people should be able to freely express their views and have access to independent sources of information. We consider this to be an important prerequisite for peace and democracy. We respect – the cultural identity of our partners and work closely together in designing our projects. It is important for us that these projects are always practice-oriented, interactive and innovative. We consider our work to be successful when our partners seek change and are able to follow through with reforms. (Source: the university’s website)
